Questions / Disable Taskbar blinking when playing from command line?

« on: September 08, 2021, 03:59:36 AM »

When launching the cli 'musicbee /play 'filename'' (such as to play files from an external file manager) and the program is already running, the Taskbar icon in windows 10 will start blinking and highlighting the program. I'd just like the files to play in the background without bringing attention to the program. Is there a way to disable this behavior? Not sure if this requires an additional cli parameter or tinkering with windows.

Thank you.

Questions / Goto beginning/top of current playlist

« on: August 17, 2021, 04:50:49 PM »

Is there a feature similar to "GoTo: playing track at source" (automatically scrolls in the playlist to the current playing track) to automatically 'go to' the top (beginning) of the current playlist without having to scroll up manually? I'd like to add a hotbar button for this function. Thanks.

MusicBee Wishlist / Time-based auto-skipping, for radio streams

« on: August 03, 2021, 12:46:28 PM »

Hello Steven & friends, really loving all the awesome features 

Could there a way to add a time-based auto-skip to "play next track"?

I regularly use radio stations in my play lists, mixed with both regular local albums/songs and/or other radio streams, which are considered "continuous tracks". I like to shuffle radios or genres to break up monotony, so I have to do it manually.

For instance, if I listen to an alt rock radio, programming can be repetitive (some internet radios have short playlists on a loop), so I'd like to be able to auto-rotate between various other alt rock radios, or other genres, etc.  every 15 minutes for instance?

Is there a way to use a time/schedule-based auto-skip to "play next track"?

Similarily, is there a feature that allows scheduling/auto-skipping to a different genre based on the time? Ie have the playlist play genre category: jazz in the morning, classical in the afternoon, etc.? You could auto-DJ your own local radio station with a different genre every hour etc.
